Biography

Khan married actress Amrita Singh, who is 12 years older, in October 1991. After thirteen years of marriage and two children (daughter born in 1993, and son born in 2001), the couple divorced in 2004. The children live with their mother.

After his divorce, he dated Rosa Catalano, a Swiss model born in Italy, whom he met in Kenya, for three years. Catalano later revealed that he had not told her about his earlier marriage and children, and that she learnt about them only after she came to India. They were later said to be considering marriage, but then broke up.

On 18 February 2007, Khan was admitted to Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai due to chest pain while rehearsing for his performance at the Stardust Awards, to be held that night. After being discharged from the hospital, he stated he would quit smoking.

Khan had been dating actress Kareena Kapoor since October 2007. Kapoor is 10 years younger to him. In October 2009 he publicly spoke of his relationship with Kapoor and the prospect of marriage stating, that in his opinion people said that marriage does not affect one's career but in fact it does and that today the whole definition of marriage has changed. He said, that he and Kareena were so well connected, so close that marriage is just a stamp of validation for the society. Saif and Kareena got married in court on 16 October 2012.

On 22 September 2011 Khan's father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi died. To please the sentiments of some residents of the village Pataudi of Haryana, a "pagri" ceremony was held which symbolically installed him as the tenth Nawab of Pataudi; however, the princely title has had no official recognition since 1971. The 'pagri' ceremony was attended by the incumbent Chief Minister of Haryana.
